No One Wants Bloomberg to Run for President

Aside from buying the New York City Mayor’s office, Michael Bloomberg would have gotten a better return on the money he invested in politics if he just bought millions of lottery tickets.

Bloomy flirted with a run in 2016. Even going so far as having a team produce a really awkward presentation. Now he’s flirting with a 2020 run.

The obvious question isn’t why. Bloomberg, a cold fish with the charisma of stale fish sticks, is convinced that the world needs him. Even though absolutely no one does. And I say this as somebody who can recognize that he did some good, and the Democrat alternative to him, Bill de Blasio, proved to be a complete and utter nightmare.

But what exactly is the demographic for a Bloomberg run?

Liberal Republicans who hate Trump? There are almost enough of them to swing a Republican primary on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and some parts of D.C. And not much else. Democrats who want a more moderate figure? Independents looking for someone apolitical, but who hates the Second Amendment and coal plants?
